Pumpkins and decorative gourds are natural, perishable produce. Their lifespan varies with harvest condition, variety, heat, direct sun, rain, irrigation, persistent moisture, handling, and wildlife. Covered, shaded placement may help, but we do not guarantee a specific lifespan or that every pumpkin will last until Thanksgiving or scheduled removal.
Early fall installations spend longer outdoors and may encounter hotter weather. Individual pumpkins may deteriorate before your selected removal date.
We generally avoid placing pumpkins and harvest materials on grass unless requested, because prolonged coverage can discolor or damage turf. We avoid areas that appear to stay wet where practical, but cannot guarantee dry conditions in landscaping. Please identify sprinkler coverage and areas that stay wet before installation.
Please keep an eye on your display and promptly remove soft or leaking pumpkins when safe. Scheduled removal does not include ongoing monitoring, maintenance, or replacement visits.
Selected potted mums are living plants supplied in grow pots; decorative planters are not included. Customers handle watering and care after installation. Water the soil as needed, allow pots to drain, and keep runoff away from pumpkins. Blooms and plant lifespan vary with weather and care. Ongoing watering, maintenance, and replacement visits are not included.
